Jamaica, an island nation in the Caribbean, has a population of about 3 million people. Its people are called Jamaicans. Known for its vibrant culture, Jamaica has made a global impact through music—especially reggae, dancehall, and ska—and icons like Bob Marley. English is the official language, but most Jamaicans also speak Patois, a Creole with English roots. The culture values resilience, community, and strong family ties. Christianity is the dominant religion, often blended with African spiritual traditions. Jamaican cuisine, famous for dishes like jerk chicken and ackee and saltfish, reflects a mix of African, European, and Indigenous influences.
